VR (Vikrant Rona)

This is upgraded version of rangitaranga with little different tadka .... Nice screenplay and cinematography.... Those who have not watched rangitaranga will love it.... This will be winning horse in other states.

One time watch movie . Well tried attempt by the writer dorector and the cast and crew.... Story and characters needed more than what is shown... good luck but any other even slightly better movie has a fair chance of kicking this movie off the screens..on to the OTT.

As far as its visual aesthetics and sound design is concerned; the movie set a new standard for all the regional industries around. The massive sets, the gorgeous color grading, and the art direction, in general, have valiantly put forth an immaculate display that ostensibly had both style and significance! Sadly, the same set of remarks does not seem to apply to the script!

The sort of grace they effortlessly conveyed through their graphical presentation is missing in their Writing counterpart. While the narrative tends to get pretty gloomy and ambitious with its somewhat serious tonality, the 'supposed' twists and turns, however, fail to create a lasting impact.

Despite having a bunch of known faces in the ensemble, almost all the characters come off as premature, and underdeveloped. With the sole exception of our lead protagonist, Vikrant Rona, played by an ever charismatic Kichcha Sudeepa who with his incessant appeal more than makes up for the apparent inadequacies.

It's certainly a step in the right direction as well as a big leap for the Kannada Industry, but still, they have a long way to go, and lots of hurdles to overcome.

All my stars are for the 2nd half & climax.

The 1st half drags with unnecessary songs, heroism & some useless character /actors J . Fernandes being one of them.

Imagine a shorter 1hr 50 mins with a tight script would have made a gem.

Rangitaranga was better not the best due the same reasons.

The 2nd half justifies the 1st even though many unnecessary elements could have been avoided.

Acting is good, photography , art direction looks decent but action seems too over the top. 3D release is just a gimmick.

Poor remake of Rangitaranga movie on a high scale. Anup Bhandari, if possible come out from Kamarottu village & Bhrammarakshasa next time.

Excellent Cinematography!!
